So I've been running some numbers and this upgrade time which I have been told from multiple people is currently 1-1.4yrs doesn't seem to jive. I was told there are approximately 160 pilots at PDT opting not to flow. Just hanging out waiting to retire. It would have to shrink if it's only 20 145's and all the dash's are gone by 17. Unless of course ultimately they bring more 145's on board. With 160 just hanging around it seems there is a lot less potential for senior FO's to move up the ladder. I just don't want to be stuck as an FO forever, I can wait 5-7 on the flow but not on minimum wage. What kind of attrition numbers are you guys seeing on average, upgrades, and flow throughs a month? Any truth to the 160 lifers? I know there is no way to know the future but I'd be curious if anyone has some current numbers. Also, I have been told the flow agreement with American is good for the next 10 years, is there a contract between the two confirming this?
